Adjusting your plan, illness & holidays
The training mode lets you control your training load at the touch of a button: Light removes about two sessions per week and makes the rest easier and shorter, Base is the default, and All-In adds a session and makes the sessions longer and more demanding. You can switch it via Home screen → orange box → training plan page. Only available for plans in individual training.
The training mode is the core idea behind how you control your own training load in Trait: with a single tap you switch between three modes – for example, train "light" during a busy work week or your holiday, and then switch back afterwards.
| Mode | Effect |
|---|---|
| Light | about two fewer sessions per week; the remaining ones become easier, shorter and less demanding – Trait swaps sessions and schedules high-intensity sessions less often |
| Base | default |
| All-In | one extra session; the sessions become a bit longer and more demanding |
The training mode is only available for plans in individual training. If you've chosen a fixed target time (e.g. "marathon in 4:00 h"), the option isn't available: you've set yourself the task of hitting that time – so certain sessions simply have to be run. If you want to stay flexible with your training load, you need a plan in individual training and accept that the achievable time is then open.
The mode is linked to your race forecast: Light corresponds to the cautious scenario (worst case), All-In to the optimistic one (best case), and Base sits in the middle. If you want to move closer to the best case and can handle the load, you can set the mode towards All-In and run the sessions as planned as much as possible.
You can't set a fixed upper limit for individual sessions (e.g. "30 minutes max"). With Light, Trait gives you a tool to reduce your overall load – but the training on the way to your goal can't be freely configured: if you want to reach the goal, you need the sessions the plan calls for. If you'd like more options here, we're happy to take your feedback on board.
If it's not about a whole week but just a single day, the alternatives to today's session are the better tool.
